Other radar detectors use a fundamental mixer for X band detection
and then utilise the second and third harmonics of the X band mixer to obtain
K and Ka band reception. This severely restricts the sensitivity on the two most
important bands and can reduce the range on Ka band photographic radar to little
more than 150 feet. FMT provides an individual mixer for each band ensuring that
sensitivity on K and Ka band is maintained at the same
level as X band. As these FMT instruments view each of the the three bands
separately it is the same as having three high powered detectors in one unit.
Range on Photo Radar is dramatically increased to over 1700 feet. No other
detectors offer world beating FMT technology.

Other manufacturers use a harmonic of the fundamental mixer for X band to
detect K and Ka band radar. This dramatically reduces sensitivity on the
two most important frequencies.

All Snooper detectors utilise a separate mixer for
each frequency which ensures a similar range from X, K and Ka bands.
The increase in detection is dramatic as may be seen from the chart below.

Ka band radar on 34.3GHz has been used extensively in Europe with
Photographic Radar for a number of years but its use has recently
been extended with the Stalker Gun. This latest radar can now operate
on any frequency between 33.4 GHz and 36.0 GHz and unless operating
at 34.2GHz to 35.2GHz it would be invisible to normal
wideband detectors. However TBP ensures the user is always protected
by sweeping the entire Ka band six times a second.
Combining with FMT it provides unrivalled performance
for detecting all types of radar.

Wideband Ka coverage is available on ALL Snooper models. Complete
detection of the newly extended Ka band width coupled with FMT
technology ensures the user has absolute confidence in
detecting all types of radar including the new Stalker Gun.

All Snoopers have been specially developed and modified
for the UK and European markets. Both X and K bands have had their respective
bandwidths extended to +/- 500 MHz from the centred frequency whilst the
filtering systems have also been enhanced to restrict spurious signals as a
result of using these wider tolerances.

Other detectors by comparison, confine these bandwidths to a maximum
tolerance of just +/- 200MHz in the interest of reducing false signals at
the lowest cost. This can mean that radar devices operating outside these
tolerances may not be detected.

The same Laser technology, recently rated number-one in a test conducted
by Car and Driver magazine, is incorporated into all Snooper detectors.
This patented technology offers the best in off-axis detection - the most common
form of monitoring - and Laser detector's biggest challenge!
